Re: Real Charger production pics from MT
It's not a bad looking car, but after having the 300 and the Magnum jolting our senses, the Charger seems a step back to safe styling. This is going to be one of those cars where the engine or the pricetag closes the deal.
BTW, everyone may want to start memorizing those headlights. Word is a version of this car, along with the already announced Magnum, is going to be wearing police blue within a year (and we know plenty of police departments are just itching to drop the Crown Vic the moment they have a real choice).
The Hemi Charger is slightly quicker than the 300C or Magnum Hemi (nearly half a second).

Re: Real Charger production pics from MT
I wonder if Chrysler realizes that there isn't a single Charger thing about this car's design (same for the interior I bet) and the way that the quarter goes into the door (which makes the door that shouldn't be there look wierd) looks more like a Cuda's quarter than a Charger. You could say oh, well the grill is kinda like a combination of the 70 and 69 grill together, but it's really just the regular Dodge grill that's on everything now.
It's a typical looking current but plain Dodge LX sedan that doesn't fit it's name and shouldn't have it. They took more cues from their recent FWD/V6 cars than they did the Charger. I wonder if they will respond like GM did with the GTO or come out with a 2 door. They have alot to fix.

Disgrace. I was actually getting excited with the momentum DCX had coming off the huge success with the 300/Magnum. Looks like the they took the magnum, made it a sedan, darkened the headlights and then ran it straight into a brick wall and said "This is the Charger". Disappointed.. I bet the Charger community isn't too happy about this.
